Description

Ex boyfriend romantic comedy that will make you laugh, cry, and root for this tough-as-nails heroine as she finally lets go of the past.

"If you liked 'Mean Girls,' you'll get a kick out of Brodsky's book." -- New York Post

The nineties are back, and nowhere are they more vibrant and entertaining than in this smart romantic comedy, in which some people were never able to leave them behind.

Before Brooklyn was cool, Brooklynite Lorraine Machuchi was in love with Tommy Lupo. Let's call him Mr. Wrong. All these years later, she's still living day to day on his confusing midnight phone calls and big-haired memories of their brief high school relationship. Translation? She's given up any opportunity of leaving Brooklyn.

Though she never saw the home she loves as a failure, there are lots of folks she's pissed off by staying put -- her mother, her dead grandmother's ghost, not to mention the old Italian ladies in the pork store. And what's worse, the very guy she tossed away everything for just told her he'll never wind up with her -- a girl who's not going anywhere...

Okay, cringe now; she hates herself for it, but Lorraine changes for a guy. But get a look at Tommy with three shirt buttons undone before you judge. Besides, when Lorraine crosses the bridge to Manhattan she begins to realize she's got a lot to offer. She starts coloring hair at a swank salon where they actually appreciate a little talent, even if you have to bend some rules to use it. She gets a fabulous Park Avenue sublet, even if it does involve chasing around a dog/horse named Pooh-Pooh. She meets a guy who's actually... perfect, even if she might be too hung up on Mr. Wrong to notice. She's asked to become the newest member of the Princesses, an elite group of Park Avenue's most powerful socialites, even if the reasoning behind it might be a little fishy. Sure, their $400 cashmere sweaters, charity balls for poor girls with small boobs, and 'sexy' yoga are a bit over-the-top, but a Brooklyn girl can learn a lot by discovering her own inner princess...
